Progman, great poll, |
however, too narrow. I'd love to have seen a few more choices. Yes and Rush are the only two still really doing anything. Geritol Prog. Wheelchairs and Walkers on stage................

You gotta have King Crimson in a favorite prog band poll !!!!! ( even though I voted for Genesis) ------------- Only sick music makes money today. Friedrich Nietzsche (1844 - 1900) |

I voted for Pink Floyd but the list is extremely limited.  I agree Dream Theater should be added and since we seem to like older bands around here what about Kansas ? ------------- <i>Sports cars</i>, helping ugly men get sex since 1954. |

Gotta say that list is a little short. KC and GG at the very least should be added.

Voted for Pink Floyd but it was a hard chice to make. I mean my favourite VDGG is not here and that's a shame. Where's Gentle Giant, Camel? A what the hell RUSH is doing there? I love and admire them but they shouldn't stand among bands like YES, GENESIS. It's not fair. ------------- Let music make your life a little sweeter - Kim Simmonds |

| I tend to agree with perry where's Gentle Giant? And Rush to me is not a "prog" band. AND WHERE IS CRIMSON! |

A vote for Yes. I have loved this band since the 70s and doubt whether a band could come along now and knock them from the top of my favorites pile, though Spocks Beard comes close. -------------

| ELP have been my favourite band since 1977 and will remain so I suspect. |

Though i voted for Genesis i think that prog music is so "chaotic" that noone has a favourite band or song! It's just what comes first into your mind when you answer the question.. Though i would have voted for Dream Theater or Jethro Tull if they were included! (That would have been a hard one! ------------- That which doesn't kill you, postpones the inevitable |

Yes for me, but this poll lacks some of the major bands. ------------- "Let's get the hell away from this Eerie-ass piece of work so we can get on with the rest of our eerie-ass day" |

I can say that I like very much all the mentioned bands, but my favourite of them is, for the inner romanticism and drama, GENESIS. However, the kind of Prog I like most is broght by ELP. |

A lot of these polls are stupid. And here, we're only given five bands to choose from. I VOTE FOR NONE OF THE ABOVE. I VOTE FOR * GENTLE GIANT *

Rush can easily stand amoungst bands like Yes and Genesis. At least Rush has been keeping a moderately progressive sound throughout their career (never sold out) and hasn't had the egotistical drama that Yes had experienced. And I like both Yes and Genesis more than Rush, but to say that Rush can't stand up against them is just stupid. ------------- One likes to believe In the freedom of music But glittering prizes And endless Compromises Shatter the illusion Of integrity |

Hey Perry, You're right, trying to compare the other four bands to Rush is not fair. Lifes not fair. Rush is the best, if you don't believe me go see them on their next tour. ------------- "The options are ever fewer on the ground these days" Fish |
